The Sundial, Architectural structure in St. Petersburg, Florida, US.

Sundial St. Pete is a two-story open-air shopping, dining and entertainment complex in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. Its stucco-faced buildings mix Florida contemporary and traditional Mediterranean styles with wrought-iron touches. The courtyard holds a nearly two-story sundial sculpture by production designer René Lagler, built by Thomas Sign & Awning Co., set in a mosaic lagoon with six bronze dolphins by sculptor Mark Aeling and MGA Sculpture Studio.

The complex opened in fall 2000 as BayWalk, with 73,000 square feet of retail space and an 80,000-square-foot Muvico theater. High vacancy rates followed. In September 2011, businessman Bill Edwards bought it for $5.2 million and began renovations. It was renamed The Shops at St. Pete, then publicly renamed Sundial St. Pete on February 19, 2014.

The name comes from the nearly two-story sundial sculpture in the courtyard, designed by production designer René Lagler and built by Thomas Sign & Awning Co. of Pinellas County. Around it, a mosaic lagoon water feature holds six bronze dolphins made by sculptor Mark Aeling and his team at MGA Sculpture Studio. The complex opened as BayWalk in fall 2000 and was renamed Sundial St. Pete on February 19, 2014.

The complex is an open-air, two-story center, so walking between shops and the cinema means moving outdoors; plan for Florida heat and rain. The sundial sculpture and mosaic lagoon with six bronze dolphins sit in the central courtyard, a natural meeting point. The 12-screen AMC Theatre anchors one end of the site.
